Introducing DroneDeploy’s Mapping Solution for the Enterprise

November 1, 2017

2017 has been a banner year for commercial drone adoption. The FAA certified over 60,000 commercial drone pilots in the first year of its Part 107 Rule, enabling commercial operations for service providers and large organizations alike.

At DroneDeploy, we are seeing major companies fly fleets of drones to increase productivity, improve safety, and deliver significant ROI. This expansion of operations poses new challenges for hardware and software providers, requiring increasing scale, sophisticated controls, fleet management, and compliance tools.

Over the last year, DroneDeploy has seen significant growth in enterprise drone adoption.

That’s why we’re excited to announce major updates to our enterprise solution — allowing companies of all sizes to scale their drone operations and gain access to valuable drone data faster than ever before.

“More and more companies are moving past early drone technology adoption to roll out larger, enterprise deployments — and their software platform needs to expand with them.” — Mike Winn, CEO of DroneDeploy

Manage Large Teams, Workflows, and Operations with DroneDeploy

Because large organizations need to keep track of the data they are generating, as well as safety issues and data breaches, DroneDeploy now offers an Admin Panel to simplify team and data management.

We’re also excited to provide Single Sign On, user roles (administrators, view only, etc.), an audit trail view to track exactly where drones have gone, and folders to group related maps and projects.

These rollouts make it easy to track hundreds of pilots and collaborators at a glance — seeing where they have flown, the routes they have mapped, and the data they have gathered and analyzed.

We’re passionate about providing these team-oriented features to all our customers. Drones are transforming workflows, and every company deserves software to help them make smarter decisions with aerial data.
